The ATV handles terrain well, with momentum gained going downhill and lost uphill. The vehicle is quick and responsive, and the braking system works well, allowing you to stop quickly.

Yes, the ATV makes a significant amount of noise. While it's great for fast travel, it can scare animals away in a large radius, which should be considered when approaching hunting areas.
